CTE: SUNY Poly STEM Camp

Drone Soccer & STEM Through Art

Middle school students from Donovan Middle School and JFK Middle School attended a week-long STEAM Camp at SUNY Poly where they learned about Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math through drone construction and artistic production. 

Students began Drone Soccer by constructing drones from scratch with help from representatives from CNY Drones followed by battery safety and battery maintenance to program, fly, and operate the drones. Meanwhile, students participating in STEM through Art focused on learning the different forms of art and bringing them to life. They worked on daily drawing journals, learned about the plant life cycle, and produced a camera obscura, which acts like a camera to capture images through lenses that are then transferred onto tracing paper where pictures can be drawn.

Thank you, SUNY Poly for hosting our students!
